The Chairman of Accord Party in Osun State, Victor Akande, has assured that Governor Ademola Adeleke would receive a waiver if he chooses to contest the next governorship election on the party’s platform.

Akande, however, clarified that neither Adeleke nor his associates had formally reached out to him, describing speculation about the governor using Accord Party for his re-election as “mere rumour.” He made the remarks during a telephone interview with The PUNCH on Sunday.

Accord Party has been listed among potential platforms for Adeleke’s re-election bid amid internal crises in his current party, the People’s Democratic Party.

Akande noted that the party already has two aspirants for its ticket in the August 8, 2026, poll, but said Adeleke would be welcomed if he chose to join.

"The issue of Governor Adeleke to me is still a rumour. As the state chairman, I have never met with anybody in government about that. We are not the only party they are talking about in terms of Adeleke’s defection, but if he comes to our party, we will welcome him wholeheartedly,” Akande said.

He added, “The political party door is always open. People are free to come in and also free to leave at any time they feel like. If he comes, we will give him a waiver to contest like every other person who may have interest in coming. There is a standing waiver already in the party. For now, two people have shown interest in contesting under our party, although they have not committed financially.”

When you mentioned APGA, I told you I heard AP.

I wish him well and urge him to do more in his second term.

I commend Alhaji Adeoti for finally removing himself from the camp of shameless betrayers, backbiting political opportunists and fake Omoluabis! This is only a step out of many steps I expect him to take henceforth. The next step is to meet Baba Bisi Akande and apologize for going against the norms of progressive politics by allowing a diminishing, grandstanding hypocrite to use him for a long time. As a renowned progressive who fell, you must now rise back to progressive politics by realigning yourself with the APC, give your ultimate loyalty to President Tinubu and say byebye to jatijati!

Pootle:

Atheistan:

Please, why do you say this? Are you in Osun State, and know what he has done for him to retain his seat?

I am asking because I have heard good things about Adeleke, and agree with you, though I'm not on ground to check for myself, but I'm wondering why press9jatv sees otherwise, and I'm trying to understand if he's being objective or just playing politics.

A LETTER TO GOVERNOR ADELEKE OF OSUN:
Dear Governor Adeleke-Your Excellency-Sir,
I write you because I like you and even though you did not perform excellently well but at least, your Performance is above Average- which Should Place you In Favourable Appeal and Disposition Before OSUN People.
On your Choice to place you in your 2nd -Term,
•I want you to consider the People Of Osun and there Welfare,far above just Politics by the Politicians.
Your Best Political Meandering is by going to APC,
First, your former PDP is now a Divided -House and you don't just thrust yourself there, unless you want to jettison your Chances.
In life,there Is What WE called CONTINGENCY THEORY In Leadership,
-i.e.It All Depends Approach - for the situation You Met.on ground when you came in as a Governor -has Change,the Dynamics,has altered,for you are now between those who don't like you and
those who wants to Mock you -( As they will Say- Sebi Otitan- 4- yrs is over, even though their own 8- yrs in Osun-was a collosal Failure)!
Your Best Platform - For this your 2nd -Term is In APC,
1•Remember How the First Lady ( Mrs Tinubu) - came to your State - with Pump and Pageantry,so you ought to have cemented that arrangement then and ,
If you did Not- NOW SEND EMISSARY TO HER, ON the NEED To Come to YOUR AID and I Trust,Mama will obliges you- for Afterall,there is NO PERMANENT ENEMIES' IN POLITICS- BUT PERMANENT INTERESTS!
2•You will Surely have Serious Encounters with the so many FORCES in that PARTY,for example- the Oyetolas( who is doing well in Marine as A Minister),etc,- but the Overall Interest Of The OSUN Workers and Retirees- And the People -Should Be Supreme!
3•Don't be Ashamed to -Bargain in Politics and Don't be afraid 😟 to rubb -Minds with the Progressive - for it is called - Omowale or Omopadawale- For Such Is Game Of LIFE 🧬!
I Wish You Well Sir.

Do you seriously think Osun people will so quickly forget the APC of Aregbesola that did not pay salary that Adeleke is now paying and return to non-salary paying APC, or do you plan to rig the election for APC?

The simple truth? He can’t win under Accord, it’s as simple as that
